"Stopped for parklife this year, staff very friendly especially the owner who went out his way to get us taxis and making sure we were comfortable. Rooms really comfy and great value for money for the weekend..."

“I thought Richard was an excellent host. The room and the view were great, breakfast was delicious. The Loe lodge is a comfortable B&B which is situated in the English countryside which is a very nice place to be.”
